Hecho closes; Gaspar Brasserie en route

A quick update from Sutter Street: The shift has been in the works for a while, but it’s worth noting that Hecho quietly closed last month.

However, escrow has not closed quite yet, so Franck LeClerc hasn’t started construction on his new project in the two-story Galleria Park Hotel space that has been Hecho since 2011. If you recall, LeClerc wants to open Gaspar Brassiere, a bustling French brasserie, in the tradition of New York’s Balthazar — the gold standard for that genre in America, and the one that many have tried to replicate.

As of this week, LeClerc is hoping to get started on the remodel sometime this month.
